The idea is to just completely get rid of damage boost, and replace her alternate fire with the pistol. No weapon swapping, and no screwing up break points for other characters. Maybe she could even shoot while healing simultaneously. Obviously they would have to tweak her animations and stat numbers.
Fucking around with mercy’s design is gonna cost Blizzard a ton of money. Mercy mains are single handedlg keeping the game alive by buying every mercy skin they release.
and the fact they also have a small haul of cash from funko pop since her funkos are outrageously expensive
